Must have Past Experience with Wearable/hearable (Consumer electronics )

What You Will Do:

• Perform bench bring-up, functional testing, and characterization of power supply circuits, regulators, and power rails.
• Benchmark power performance: efficiency, load/line regulation, ripple and noise, transient response, quiescent current, and thermal behavior.
• Measure and characterize battery, charging, and power-delivery behavior across operating conditions and corners.
• Set up and operate lab equipment: oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, programmable power supplies, electronic loads, source measure units (SMUs), data acquisition (DAQ) systems, and current/power measurement rigs.
• Build, modify, and maintain test fixtures, cabling, sense/Kelvin connections, and bench setups for power measurement.
• Execute power test plans, log results, and flag anomalies for review.
• Capture, clean, and analyze measurement data; produce clear efficiency curves, waveforms, plots, and summary reports.
• Assist with board rework, soldering, and basic power circuit debug tasks.
• Track units, samples, and devices under test; maintain lab inventory and test logs.
• Document test procedures and keep power validation records up to date.

What You Will Bring:

• Associate's/Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, EE Technology, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• Understanding of power electronics fundamentals (regulators, DC-DC converters, power rails, voltage/current measurement).
• Ability to read schematics and use standard electrical lab instruments.
• Basic soldering / rework and bench debugging skills.
• Clear written and verbal communication; reliable and detail-oriented.

Preferred Skill:

• Hands-on experience characterizing or benchmarking power supplies, regulators, or battery/charging systems.
• Familiarity with electronic loads, SMUs, and precision power measurement setups.
• Scripting for test automation or data processing (Python preferred).
• Experience with automated power test frameworks and DAQ tooling.
• Experience with electronics or small-form-factor hardware development.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, iterative hardware development environment.
